Congrats on your purchase. Is prob my fav colour just a pity Toyota don't sell it.
Buying a BRZ online only and being unable to negotiate a deal when buying was a deal breaker for me. What's the situation like now with buying one? Are the dealers prepared to move on pricing or is it still a rock solid price? What's the wait for one. |

I was lucky when I purchased mine - they had a new 2017 model in WR Blue and manual (one of the first in Aus) on a ship in Port Kembla. I paid my deposit early Dec 16 and they said i could pick it up after a week but like most cases it kept getting delayed until early Jan when i finally got her. Price wise they are pretty stiff... I managed to get mine for $36, 888 but added paint protection, dark tint, sensors (no hate haha I only read AFTER i signed that its much cheaper to get paint protection and tint completed elsewhere) and it brought my total to $41,888. The only thing I got for free was car mats.... haha. So not the best experience but well worth it once you get it. I think the wait times now are a few months - I heard them say March they will be getting more delivered but most are already sold before they get off the ship haha. |

Wow $5k worth of extras or does that include on road costs? Yeah plenty get touched up with 'dealer' extras. My salesman wheeled in the 45yr old dolly bird in the very short mini skirt and stilettos to give me the hour long presentation for window tinting, paint protection, dent repair, extended warranty, etc, etc. Had to tell her 10 mins in that I really wasn't interested and she was just wasting her time and mine and that I'd already organised paint coating myself at a 1/4 of what she wanted, and wasn't interested in what she was offering. Did not go down well!! Don't know if it was me stopping her mid sales spiel that hurt her or that she wasn't going to get any commission off me.

Yeah that included the on road costs as well. Hahaha funny you say that - after I had signed the initial paperwork for the car I was handed over to the younger sales woman who told me about the quartz paint protection, showed me how good the cars look with the dark tint, explained i could get free parking sensors if I purchased the tint and paint protection etc... I must have got sucked in. Im a bit annoyed though - the sensors were not installed when I picked up the car and said they will contact me to arrange a time to install - but still waiting...

Congrats! I'm picking mine up in March, bit of a wait , put the deposit down on NYE.
I also had the same spiel from a lady in stilettos and short skirt about paint protection, tinting and what not but i told her i wasn't interested, they wanted $2500 for paint protection + tinting + leather protection or $980 for tinting...got a quote from tint-a-car for the same tinting for $170. I'd hound them about the parking sensors, so they don't 'forget' to install it, considering how much you paid them for it. |

Awesome man! what colour you go for? Yeah it is a fair bit of a wait but well worth it. Also would you know why Subaru arnt offering the option to add on the new aluminum rear wing spoiler that the Toyota 86's are coming out with? The American Subaru site even has the wing on their standard model... Yeah it is a big rip getting those additions done at the dealer - I just wasn't aware at the time I signed as this was my first new car purchase. |

Might have been since mine was the second one they had delivered so they probably hadn't had time to work out how much profit they could make yet

Subaru seems to only have the rear lip spoiler, doesn't look nearly as good as the wing on the 86, might have to go aftermarket here. Maybe Subaru Au trying to 'distinguish' themselves or something. |

The dark grey colour is great! If I went 86 I would have got grey or white. |

I need to get a boot mat to cover the spare wheel - although it is handy putting things inside the wheel and its not sliding around the back. |

I can't remember how much the mats were anymore was so long ago. I had the boot mat, was a POS for how expensive it was. ended up ripping it out and haven't used it, not even sure what I did with it. Also had the Toyota rubber one, which was kinda handy. but I like using the spare wheel for storage!
